LAMP ATTACHMENT AND STRUCTURE.

Application filed December 8, 1923. Serial No. 679,501. i

To all whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD RUTTEN- name, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamp Attachments and Structures, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a lamp attachment and structure and more particularly to a division of my prior application filed December 8, 1922, Serial No. 605,651 and has for its primary object the construction of an attachment that greatly adds to the ornamental appearance of a lamp and besides will enter into combination with other parts to produce a more pleasing effect as a whole.

An object of the invention is to provide a combination of silk, metal and glass of a predetermined color and ornamentation to produce a lamp of a more ornamental construction while at the same time enable the parts to be more quickly and effectively connected together. v

Besides the above my invention is distinguished in the combination of an ornamental metal body which may be quickly connected to the lamp post with pendants formed from different material such as glass.

With these and other objects in viewthe invention will be better understood from.

the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a lamp illustrating my invention...

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional'view.

Fig. 8 is a top plan view of'the plate.

Fig. is an enlarged vertical sectional view.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged side elevation of another form of attachment.

Again referring to the drawing illustrating one of the many constructions of my invention the numeral 1 designates a. pipe forming the post of this particular construction of lamp. This pipe has connected thereto the usual illuminating means such as electric bulbsQ. A shadcB is also supported by the pipe to surround the bulbs and to increase. the effective color scheme. The shade is formed from silk having an open top t and open bottom 5. The attachn'ient 6 at the top of the pipe described as a finial in my heretofore described application consists of an ornamental body 7 detachably connected to the top of the post by means of the screw threads 8 shownin 'Fig. 5. This body has an ornamental design and has hanging therefrom a pendant 9 which is usually constructed from glass to add to the ornamental effect. c

Another form of the attachment consists of a plate 10 or ornamental configuration provided with aeentral hole 11 for receiv ing therethrough the pipe 1. The plate is clamped in position by ornamental elements 12 and 13 fixed to the pipe. Depending from this plate is a plurality of pendants 1a which may be constructed from any suitable material such as glass.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing it willbe apparent I support glass above and below the shade in such position that the light rays from the bulbs 2 will illuminatesame and when these pendants are made of glass a certain amount of lightrays will-be reflected from the'surface and a certain amount passtherethrough which greatly adds to the ornamental effect of the lamp. By making the shade of silk I am able to make the pendants and shade 'of such material and color that they will blend in a more pleasing manner.

A very important feature of my combination is that the illuminating means are covered from the direct view. of the eye and,

therefore, the ornamental attachments will show up brighter than other parts of the lamp.

It is, of course to be understood that the invention may be constructed in various other manners and the parts associated in different relations, therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claim hereunto appended.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is: 4

I11 combination, illuminating means, a. translucent shade surrounding the illuminating means but open at its top and bot; tom, a glass finial supported above the shade to be subject to the light rays passing through the top of the; shade, and glass pendants supported below the shade to be subject to light rays passing through the i i bottom of the shade.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

EDWARD O. RUTTENBERG.
